RATS new month access down to 250?

I thought RATS new month access was 500 point, or at least thats what my computer told me when I bought initial access. I just went to the member center to see how many points I had, and it said 250 was the cost for another month...

Is that because it bought forum access halfway through the month?

I think it has always been 250. The intial buy in may be a bit higher though

I second that, its always been 250 points for the monthly subscription.

Strange how you all say that... Right after I bought the initial 5000 point membership, my computer told me that there would be a monthly fee of 500 points.. OK, well problem solved nevertheless.

A bit?

I could buy a space shuttle or a place on the NWO rugby team for the buy in price!

When SO first introduced the monthly fee to RATS the fee was 500 points, but due to everyone's bitching it was dropped down to 250.

I was one of the ones that bought it when it was still 500, too. I remember my irateness that lasted about 5 seconds when I learned that if I had waited that extra 5 seconds I would have kept half what I spent. Oh well though!

EDIT: Here's the original thread for you all to look over: New Really Above Top Secret (restricted access forum) Membership Policy and Prices.

If you look at SO's first post he includes:

(edit to lower monthly renewal fee)

Also, you can see references to it in others' posts throughout the thread.
